Lyrics

It′s a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders
It′s a terrible love and I'm walking in
It's a terrible love and I′m walking with spidersIt′s a terrible love and I'm walking in

It′s quiet company
It's quiet company

It′s a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders
It′s a terrible love and I'm walking in
It's a terrible love and I′m walking with spiders
It′s a terrible love and I'm walking in

It′s quiet company
It's quiet company
It′s quiet company

And I can't fall asleep
Without a little help
It takes a while to settle down my shivered bones
Until the panic′s out

It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break

Company
It's quiet company
It's quiet company

Fooler, won′t follow you
Into the rabbit hole
I said I would, but then I saw your shivered bones
They didn′t want me to

It's a terrible love and I′m walking with spiders
It's a terrible love and I′m walking in
It's a terrible love and I′m walking with spiders
It's a terrible love and I'm walking in

It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
